Chapter 90:

When Ji Heng arrived at Ci Ning palace, the Empress Dowager was crying.

When she cried, there’s no sound. She just shed tears silently, making people feel that the world has borne her, and feels guilty.

Ji Heng has a headache. “Mother, who makes you cry? I will not spare him. ”

“Who else can it be! I’ve been worried about you all my life. It’s not easy to survive until now. But after a long time of ease, have you forgotten the hardships you have suffered? How did you forget that your father was hoodwinked by the eunuch? You – “stop here and cry.

Ji Heng knew it had reached the Empress Dowager. He explained, “it’s all the rumour of outsiders. You’re my mother, how can you believe the rumour like others. ”

The Empress Dowager cried for a long time. “You lied to me at this time! This dowager doesn’t believe it. If there is no shadow, how dare outsiders arrange the rumour? ”

Ji Heng’s heart sank, and he had a plan. He sighed for a long time and said, “Mother is right, I …” Clenched his teeth, as if it was tough to open his teeth, “I really don’t like the woman next to me …”

His words are not wrong, but in the ears of the Empress Dowager, naturally when he did go on the road of broken sleeves. The Empress Dowager’s eyes darkened with anxiety. “You, you “After a long time, she couldn’t say a complete word. Some things are suspected to be one thing and sure to be another. Even if you doubt it again, when you are sure of it, you will feel like the sky is falling.

The Empress Dowager couldn’t help crying.

Even Ji Heng rarely saw this scene. The Empress Dowager let go. She cried and scolded him for a while. Seeing that her son had no intention of repentance, she began to scold Tian Qi again. That little eunuch must have seduced ah Heng!

Ji Heng then scolded, “that Tian Qi, indeed, is a bit unfair. She would rather die than do that. Even though I never mistreat her! ”

Empress Dowager: “…”. The truth of the incident once again refreshed her mind. It’s her son that broke his sleeve. But they haven’t agreed yet?!

The Empress Dowager’s mood is very complicated. On the one hand, it’s a good thing that the two don’t mix together. On the other hand, her son is despised by others. Empress Dowager was “humiliated” and thought her son was also good. Why can’t Tian Qi don’t like him? But even if Tian Qi don’t like ah Heng, ah Heng is still trying to break his sleeve. What does that mean?

‘It seems that my son can’t be saved.’

The Empress Dowager was more desperate.

She had an impulse to kill Tian Qi at once. But one Tian Qi fell, and ten million Tian Qi stood up. The key is not Tian Qi, but the Emperor’s unpredictable taste. If she killed Tian Qi, would the Emperor find another eunuch? Tian Qi’s character is good, at least from this point of view, she still has some spirit and moral integrity. In case Tian Qi dies, the Emperor finds another eunuch. If the eunuch can’t refuse …

The Queen Mother shivered. In other words, from the current situation, Tian Qi has played an incredible role in holding the Emperor back?

In this way, the image of Tian Qi in the Empress Dowager’s heart is shining.

The Empress Dowager is a man with no backbone, and she doesn’t know how to persuade her son. Now he took out the killing move, but he didn’t move. She was helpless and couldn’t think of the right way for a while.

Ji Heng secretly observed the look of the Empress Dowager. When he saw that she believed, he was relieved. He didn’t want to cheat his mother, but when things came to this place, he must choose a safe way to reduce all possible damage to Tian Qi. Of course, there is guilt. It was Ji Heng who told the Empress Dowager another thing. “It’s not a big deal, but Consort Shun somehow knew it. ”

When the Empress Dowager heard the word “Shun Fei”, her ears immediately stood up, and she didn’t care to tell Ji Heng whether it was big or small. In the rear palace, consort Shun is her number one enemy. The enemy knew the Emperor’s secret affairs first.

Ji Heng has already lost his temper once. Now he is a little calm, so he doesn’t mind dropping it again. He calmly dragged Consort Shun out to attract the attention of the empress dowager and continued to help Tian Qi create a glorious image: “Mother didn’t know that Consort Shun used this as a threat to force Tian Qi to do things for her. Tian Qi rejected Consort Shun because she only recognized me as a master and told me about it. ”

Good job! The Empress Dowager applauded Tian Qi secretly and then thought that Tian Qi was her abnormal son’s hunting target. When her face was black, she raised her hand uneasily and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

Ji Heng continued, “I don’t want consort Shun to hold a grudge against Tian Qi from now on. To revenge Tian Qi, she even leaked this matter to the outside of the palace. People have always valued her ears and despised her eyes. They would rather believe what they heard than what they saw. This matter was spread very severely at this time, and I lost my reputation. I’ve been scolded by several officials for this. ”

The Empress Dowager was so angry that she clapped her thighs. “How dare she be so bold! ”

Ji Heng nodded and agreed, “how could she do that. ”

The Empress Dowager suddenly turned her eyes and looked at Ji Heng suspiciously. “You are telling the truth? “She is not stupid, and she has crawled out of the palace intrigue for so many years. His son is thinking of Tian Qi. Now he is likely to beautify the eunuch to protect her.

Ji Heng calmly replied, “if the mother doesn’t believe it, a mother can ask Tian Qi. I will stay at CI Ning Palace. I’m not going anywhere. ”

The Empress Dowager didn’t mean to do it on the spot. “Forget it.”

“Let’s ask, I asked, so that my mother can rest assured.” Ji Heng said, turning his head to call in the people, ordering to send Tian Qi and Consort Shun.

The Empress Dowager was relieved that there was a confrontation with Consort Shun. Even if Tian Qi and the Emperor can conspire to commit fraud, Consort Shun will not sacrifice herself to cooperate with them.

The highest level of lying lies in the three-part falsehood and seven-part reality. Ji Heng has already told the lies entirely. When Tian Qi was called in, she only needed to tell the truth in the first place, without making up a word. For example, on that day, consort Shun rushed to help her. So Tian Qi went to thank her. Consort Shun said that need Tian Gonggong help.

As soon as the Empress Dowager recalled that day, she punished Tian Qi and Consort Shun and stood out abruptly. This was all right.

Consort Shun’s face was white. Regarding this matter, the Emperor has warned her once, she did not deny it, and now in the presence of the Emperor, she cannot deny it. However, Consort Shun thought that she would not be guilty of doing so. Now everything is in front of the Empress Dowager. She can’t do it, so she had to stir up the water and lead the Empress Dowager’s anger to the other side. “The Empress Dowager’s mother didn’t know,” said Consort Shun. “I did it for the Emperor’s good. This slave seduced the Emperor, which led to the Emperor’s bad luck. “Then he looked at Ji Heng and bowed his head.” These concubines were brave enough to ask the Emperor to forgive me. ”

Why the Emperor have this bad luck? The Empress Dowager’s heart knew. She looked cold and stern. “You are not in charge of the Emperor’s affairs for the time being. ”

Consort Shun’s face changed.

She really has no right to manage. She’s not a queen. She’s just a concubine. To put it bluntly, it’s a concubine.

Ji Heng timely threw out another crime of Consort Shun: colluding with foreign ministers and slandering the Emperor.

This is a big crime, Consort Shun will not admit it.

Ji Heng has no evidence at hand, so it’s hard to impose charges on her. He put on an enigmatic expression, “whether you confess or not depends on the evidence. I’ll find out about it and deal with it together. You should think about it in the Hanguang hall first. ”

Although the Empress Dowager wished that Consort Shun would be deprived of her title and sent to the cold palace immediately, she understood that the judicial process of convicting needed evidence, so she did not speak much.

Ji Heng took Tian Qi back to the Qianqing palace. When he saw that Tian Qi seemed worried, he asked her with a smile, “scared? ”

“No,” Tian Qi replied, “emperor if this is really done by Consort Shun, what will you do with her? ”

Ji Heng asked, “what do you want me to do with her? ”

“Can you spare her life?” said Tian Qi

Ji Heng frowned. “Why do you plead for her. ”

“Not that. I hate her, too. But no matter what her purpose was, she really saved my life. There is gratitude for revenge, and there is revenge for revenge. Revenge has already been repaid.”

Ji Heng thinks it’s reasonable. He shouldn’t let Tian Qi owe others this kind of feeling. Just this time, he will be spared Consort Shun’s life, and the two were clear.

But the next thing is there no more.

The Empress Dowager couldn’t help but feel excited and actively helped the Emperor to check the evidence. After finding no evidence, she was very creative and began to make up the evidence. Consort Shun is forbidden to leave Hanguang hall. All the people in Hanguang hall have been changed. She doesn’t know how far things are going outside. A person is in a nervous state of mind, surrounded by strangers, and she can’t speak three or two sentences a day. Gradually, her spirit is getting worse, and she begins to be a little reluctant. Her goal in life is to be a queen. Now it’s far away from her. It’s gone. All of a sudden, she had no incentive to live.

When the Empress Dowager handed over the seamless evidence that had been painstakingly fabricated to Ji Heng, it happened that the eunuch of Hanguang hall came to report that the Consort Shun had committed suicide!

This is how it is defined as a crime of suicide.

The Empress Dowager got rid of a severe problem and felt relaxed. There is part of Tian Qi’s credit for this, though it is passive. In a word, she unconsciously drew Tian Qi into her own camp.

Of course, every time she saw Tian Qi, she was still very entangled. She didn’t know whether the Emperor first looked at Tian Qi or Tian Qi first looked at her son. She was more inclined to the latter in her subjective will, which at least showed that her son was not a congenital abnormality, but an acquired and curable one.

If this little eunuch is a bad guy, it’s easy to say, kill her directly. But others were not bad, and it just happened to drag the Emperor to prevent him from going into the abyss.

Tian Qi plays with Ruyi in the CI Ning palace. The Empress Dowager is watching. It’s easy for an old lady with a rich life experience to see whether a person is perfect or not when they with children. Tian Qi treats Ruyi sincerely.

The Empress Dowager looked at Tian Qi’s smart face, and suddenly she was sad. She turned to Ji Heng and said, “if only Tian Qi were a big girl. All problems have been solved.

Ji Heng’s mouth was slightly raised, and he quickly put on an expression of pain and sadness. He sighed, “if she is a girl, I will not abandon her. ”

That said, the empress pulled the corners of her mouth, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
